The Algarve, with approximately 200 kilometers of coastline, offers stunning cliffs, beautiful beaches, and deserted shores. Its coastline starts in the Vicentine Coast Natural Park and extends to Vila Real de Santo António, right by the Spanish border.
The western region is known as Barlavento, characterized by beaches with cliffs, rocky formations, and steep, rugged cliffs.
The eastern region is called Sotavento, where the water temperature is warmer, and marine erosion is stronger, creating low, sandy beaches and dunes.
Albufeira, the most “trendy” region of the Algarve, is known for its fantastic beaches, rock formations, small bays with idyllic beaches, and caves. Its marina is a hub for water sports and boat tours, and it also boasts some of the best golf courses in Portugal. Another major attraction is Zoomarine, a theme park that draws visitors of all ages.

Itinerary
Our itinerary starts with a drive from Lisbon to Algarve. Explore the Algarve and discover some of its hidden gems, such as Tavira, Faro, Vilamoura, and Albufeira, each with its own charm and unique features. Tavira is known for its numerous bridges, including the famous Roman bridge over the Gilão River, and for its abundance of churches, some of which date back to the 13th century. In Faro, the region’s capital, you can visit the impressive “Chapel of Bones” in the Church of Nossa Senhora do Carmo, a striking monument made with human bones as a tribute to mortality and spirituality.
Vilamoura, famous for its sophisticated marina, is a hub of luxury and leisure, featuring some of the best golf courses in Europe. As night falls, its vibrant nightlife makes Vilamoura an ideal spot for those seeking entertainment. Finally, Albufeira, with its golden beaches and charming streets lined with shops and restaurants, is one of the most popular destinations in the Algarve. Its old town still holds traces of the Arab occupation, blending history with lively attractions.
Heading further west, Sagres is a destination of breathtaking natural and spiritual beauty, home to the historic Sagres Fortress, where Prince Henry the Navigator launched the Age of Discovery. Sagres offers a rugged and magnificent landscape, with awe-inspiring views of the Atlantic Ocean from Cape St. Vincent, the southwesternmost point of Europe.
Finish the journey in Lisbon, a vibrant city steeped in history, from the cobblestone streets of Alfama to the iconic monuments of Belém.
